1. Do you own an iPhone? Yes? Cool (No? No worries. It’s only a matter of time – for both of us). 2. Do you own an iPad? Please don’t comment about your “new” iPad pre-order; I will only envy you.

The ultimate pink laptop bag shopping stop.

I go back and forth on any association that pink has with technology. More times than not, I think it does more harm than good. However, I know that even some of my dear friends LOVE getting pink accessories for their gadgets. For those dear friends of mine and the readers in the PINK camp, [...]

They did this so they would get the artist behind WACSO (walking around, checking stuff out), to draw my dog, Admiral Ackbar.
